You know, I don't typically like confrontation.. but I'm also a journalist and dont like for replies to go un-answered. But looking over the posts, maybe I just read things like this as a mean statement:
"Eh, if some greek letters on a t-shirt make her feel closer to her daughter, whatever." As insulting, where someone else would have seen them as a compliment or nothing at all. (but typically talking about someone like their not a part of the conversation is seen as rude).
All in all, I just came here for some advice, and instead of people saying "well, using someones letters, even the two of you, will make people upset?" Or asking questions like "Oh, that's different, why do that?" I got a whole slew of (what seemed to me) condiscending "why? seriously? for real?" and "Eh, if some greek letters on a t-shirt make her feel closer to her daughter, whatever." It could have all been my perception, I'm fine with that. It's clearly obvious that I know NOTHING about sorority's, never wanted to be in one, never have been in one, never have even looked into one! But thought it woudl have been neat for my 9 yr old.. this situation was my very first experience with a group of people in sororities and although it was not at all a good one, I'm gonna chalk it up to just THIS place, misunderstanding, whatever.. I'll make sure we emphasis some kindness, and helpfulness in my daughters little group though.. I'll tell her all about this encounter I had, and I'll make sure to find letters that are not being used by anyone!
Thanks ya'll
